25 | On Wednesday, September 7th, 2022, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kelly Ferrara met with Facility Representative Lise Witthaus for an unannounced annual inspection. At 10:10 AM, LPA toured the facility including all activity and classroom spaces, restrooms, food service and outdoor play areas. Census included 14 children in care with four staff. Facility Representative was reminded never to exceed the conditions, limitations and capacity specified on the license. Facility annual fees are current. The facility operates Monday through Friday, with a morning class from 8:45 AM to 11:45 AM and another class from 9 AM to 12 PM.
Facility Representative was reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a Child Care Center. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
The classrooms appeared clean including the carpets and floor. Chemicals and cleaning materials were kept inaccessible to children. Playground equipment and surfaces were inspected and are in good condition with enough resilient material under climbing structures to absorb a fall. There are no firearms or bodies of water on the premises and the facility has at least one functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detector. LPA observed the appropriate postings were visible to parents and children were signed in and out of the center. LPA observed children had individual water bottles for use inside and outside the classroom. Children are provided snacks. LPA observed a current children's roster and fire drill log.
All Child Care Centers (CCCs) that are located in buildings constructed before January 1, 2010 must have their drinking water tested for lead and post the results by January 1, 2023 and every 5 years after the date of the initial test. For a license issued on or after July 1, 2022, the CCC must have its water tested and post the results within 180 days of licensure. |
